Beautiful Squarespace Site Design for Financial Forensics & Business Valuations Firm
Cogence Group had years of expertise and a fantastic team behind them, but their previous website didn't fully reflect the collaborative nature of the firm or the depth of services they provide. The old site focused heavily on a single founder, while the reality of the business is a trusted team of CPAs and financial experts working together to help attorneys, business owners, and professionals navigate complex financial matters. Through a complete and totally collaborative website redesign, we created a modern online presence that better showcases the firm's experience, credibility, and relationship-driven approach.
This project included a full Squarespace website build and development, website strategy, copywriting consulting, and custom iconography, all while thoughtfully blending elements of the company's existing branding with a refreshed visual direction. One of my favorite parts of this project was working with the Cogence team themselves—they were thoughtful, collaborative, and excellent communicators throughout the process. Their new website now reflects exactly that: professional, approachable, and built around the strength of the entire team.
“Rachel was organized, communicative, and genuinely invested in understanding our brand and what we were going for. She was incredibly patient with us through what turned out to be a pretty detailed process — we had a lot of opinions on everything from color palettes to button styles to icon design, and Rachel took every piece of feedback in stride and always came back with thoughtful solutions.
What really stood out was how collaborative the whole experience felt. Rachel never made us feel like we were being difficult, even when we were going back and forth on decisions. She was always transparent about what was possible within our contract, what would require additional time, and what her professional recommendation was. That kind of honesty and clear communication made the whole process so much smoother. The final product is a website we are genuinely proud of and that we feel truly represents our firm.”

“Rachel was extremely responsive and provided valuable feedback and suggestions throughout. From the start, she set clear expectations about what was needed from our team, which helped keep the project organized and moving forward smoothly. She was highly communicative, detail-oriented, and, most importantly, took the time to listen to our ideas and understand our vision.
Beyond the website design itself, she also provided helpful recommendations for ongoing improvements, including SEO strategies and content creation ideas to help strengthen our online presence. We highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for professional, collaborative, and results-driven website support.”
